// Chunk favors convention over configuration, and your deployment
// will be simpler if you can figure out how to add your themes
// folder to your application's classpath.

// But, if you really want to load your theme template files from
// a different folder, outside the classpath, you can certainly do so:

String themesPath = "/path/to/my/templates";
String layerNames = "";   // no layers

Theme theme = new Theme(themesPath, layerNames);

// Load up the main template in /path/to/my/templates/my_template.chtml
Chunk html = theme.makeChunk("my_template");

return html.toString();

{#example_2}
{!-- Use .html as template file extension: See Java tab --}
{#}

// Lets say you want to use .html as the default extension, so you can
// easily edit your templates in an HTML editor.
Theme theme = new Theme();
theme.setDefaultExtension("html");

// Load up the main template in [classpath]/themes/my_template.html
Chunk html = theme.makeChunk("my_template");

return html.toString();

{#example_3}
{!-- Extreme non-standard config: See Java tab --}
{#}

// Let's say you want to use .txt as the default extension, with
// ISO-8859-1 encoding (the default is UTF-8), from the
// /path/to/my/templates folder.
//
// Plus, you want to translate all marked-up _[Strings] into German
// using the locale files in /path/to/my/locales/de_DE/translate.csv
// (also ISO-8859-1 encoded).

String themesPath = "/path/to/my/templates";
String layerNames = "";
Theme textTheme = new Theme(themesPath, layerNames);
textTheme.setDefaultExtension("txt");
textTheme.setLocale("de_DE");
textTheme.setEncoding("ISO-8859-1");

// For now, you must configure localization via system properties.
// This can be done in code or with -Dprop=value from the JVM
// command line.
System.setProperty("chunk.localedb.charset", "ISO-8859-1");
System.setProperty("chunk.localedb.path",    "/path/to/my/locales");

// Load up the main template in /path/to/my/templates/my_template.txt
Chunk txt = textTheme.makeChunk("my_template");
